Celebrations for South Sudan

Citizens and world politicians have been partying in the new capital, Juda, as South Sudan celebrates its first day as an official independent country. 

The new state, which has rich oil reserves, split from the north following decades of civil war which left millions dead. 

President Salva Kiir hosts dignitaries such as UN secretary Ban Ki-moon at a noon-party in Juda, as people from all over the world look to join the momentous occasion.
